Last year, Ferrari held a World Design Contest that was open to automotive designers to create a Ferrari of the future. One such creation for the event was the Aliante concept you see before you.
The eccentric two-seat roadster draws its inspiration from the brand's Formula One racing cars as well as their street legal GTs.
It features large muscular shoulders that give the concept a seriously angry look while the front fascia has been inspired by the current 458 Italia with its elongated LED headlights.
Will this concept ever make it to production? We can categorically say "NO". It is not official and only provides speculative look into the future of the Italian brand through the eyes of student designers.

When I hear "roadster" I think of something unpractical but FUN and to some extent affordable. Ferrari talk about an entry version, a Dino powered by a NA V6 but it ended up being an expensive and heavy hardtop convertible, called California. Porsche talks about a new 550, Ferrari having almost renewed all it model range with the F620 and F70, Enzo replacement on their way, I do still see a possibility of adding a new ~100.000 € roadster. Now the question is whether such a car will delute the brand and make it lose exclusivity, and I don't think it will, it will always stay a true Ferrari, unreliable and expensive. It is always better than a HP SUV.
